Your whole show on iPhone. VisualGIG turns your iPhone into a backing track player for the stage. Build the set at home, walk into the bar, and fire playback, VS and effects with one tap — no laptop. No accounts. No streaming. No waiting on venue Wi-Fi. BUILT TO FIRE INSTANTLY Every file is armed when you open the set, not when you press the pad. Sound starts when your finger lands. Files play from the device. STAGE SCREEN On stage the app keeps only your pads, what's playing and the clock. Nothing to edit mid-song. • Screen never sleeps mid-set • Pads keep their positions (muscle memory) • Next cue marked NEXT • Timecode inside the playing pad • Exit takes a deliberate hold — a bump can't end the show Airplane-mode reminder before the set: one call can duck your audio in front of a room. PADS THAT DO MORE THAN PLAY • Play over — layer on top; background ducks • Hold to play — stingers, count-ins, hits • Loop — beds and ambience • Fade out — smooth ending • Per-pad mixer — level and duck amount BUILDING A SET • A set for each night — name, venue, colour • Import WAV, AIFF, MP3 or M4A from Files / iCloud • Library folders — select, move and share files • Or record into a pad with the mic • Audition before you commit • Edit: tap to change, hold to remove • Missing file? The pad tells you instead of failing silently All of that is free. No account, no trial timer. The free plan shows one small banner for another indie app, never on the pad screens; PRO removes it. VISUALGIG PRO — OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION PRO adds the stage tools. Building sets and playing pads work without it. • Multitrack songs — your stems in a single pad, each on its own track. Turn the phone sideways to move, trim and split audio, set the tempo and add markers; tap a marker to jump, hold it to loop. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • Mixer & EQ — fader, pan, mute, solo and EQ on every track, a master EQ, and Normalize to even out levels. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • Audio-interface outputs and inputs — send each track and the click to its own output (click and guides to the in-ears, the band to the desk) and hear a mic or instrument in your in-ears. On the free plan everything plays on the iPhone speaker, wired headphones or Bluetooth. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • Metronome & count-in — a click on every pad: count-in, tempo found from your audio (or tap it), click panned to one ear, or a pad that is only the click. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • MIDI Controller — USB or Bluetooth pedal. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • Apple Watch — cues from your wrist. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • Pad styles, set export and import, ZIP import. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • VisualGIG PRO Monthly — auto-renewing • VisualGIG PRO Annual — auto-renewing Prices in local currency in the app. Charged to your Apple Account. Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage in Apple Account settings. FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY GIG Bar and cover bands, solo players with VS/playback, theatre and events. Anyone who has watched a laptop update itself twenty minutes before doors. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO A cue player, not a DAW: the track editor lines up your stems, it doesn't record or mix down. No streaming, no cloud sync. Sets stay on device — on purpose. Available in English and Portuguese (Brazil). Fewer things to go wrong at 9pm.

The free plan shows one small banner for another indie app, never on the pad screens ### 1.4 — 2026-10-10 A metronome on every pad, a new look, and VisualGIG in Portuguese: • Metronome & count-in (PRO) — it counts you in and clicks until the song ends; tempo from your audio or by tap, click to one ear, or a pad that is only the click • New icon, neon pad colours and a darker, quieter stage skin • Pad styles (PRO) — glass, hardware or studio rubber • The pad that's playing lights up and blinks in time • Folders in the Library — select, move and share files, rename the folder • ZIP import (PRO) — a ZIP of audio unpacks into its own folder • Sets show a mini picture of their pads • Now in English and Portuguese (Brazil) • Bug fixes and stability improvements ### 1.3.1 — 2026-09-22 Share your sets. • Export a set as a single .vgset file: pads, audio and settings travel together. • Send it by AirDrop, WhatsApp or email, or export all your sets at once as a backup. • Import a .vgset from Files, or open it straight into VisualGIG from any app. • Preview what's inside a set before importing it. • Imported sets keep their own copy of every audio file, so nothing you already have gets overwritten. Also in this version: • Fixed an issue where a deleted audio file could still be attached to a pad. ### 1.3 — 2026-09-17 The biggest VisualGIG update yet: • Hold to play: a pad sounds only while you press it, on screen, on a MIDI pedal or on Apple Watch • Record in the app: capture audio with the microphone straight into a pad • Play over: layer a pad on top of what's playing, and the background ducks automatically • Loop and fade out for beds, ambient pads and clean endings • Per-pad mixer: set the pad level and how far the background drops • Redesigned pad editor • New Apple Watch stage view: bigger next cue, haptics, double tap on supported models, a screen lock and every layered sound at a glance • A clear warning when an audio file goes missing • Fixed a crash after deleting a file that a pad was using • Stability improvements ### 1.2 — 2026-09-05 MIDI Controller support Bugfixes ## Apps similar to VisualGIG | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [ShowCue: Cue & Backing Player](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/showcue-cue-and-backing-player/id6766199905) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Music | | [Worship Assist](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/worship-assist/id6801865819) | — | Free | Music | | [PadVox](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/padvox/id6755462548) | — | Free | Music | | [TuneDeck Soundboard Studio](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tunedeck-soundboard-studio/id6779375000) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Music | | [VEDO show](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vedo-show/id6755215187) | — | Free | Music | | [Foleypad – Live Soundboard](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/foleypad-live-soundboard/id6757005031) | — | Free | Music | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
